Discover Bedford Farms: A Collective Market and Community Gathering Place

If you’ve driven past the old Bedford Nursery lately, you’ve probably noticed something amazing happening. It’s now Bedford Farms - which is so much more than just a place to buy plants. In this episode, I’m joined by Alex Lamoreaux, the program director at Bedford Farms, to share what makes this new business such a special addition to our Northern Westchester community.

Max and Nicole Apton, both raised in the area, brought their dream to life when they reopened this nine-acre property last fall. From the stunning new barn to the fresh produce, flowers, and local artisan goods, Bedford Farms is quickly becoming a go-to gathering place. Alex walks us through everything they’ve created - from gardening classes and yoga sessions to seasonal events, kids’ programs, and their new Harvest Box filled with homegrown produce and curated treats.

Whether you’re a gardener, a parent, or just someone who loves supporting local businesses, this episode gives you a peek into how Bedford Farms is bringing people together. It’s joyful, welcoming, and filled with heart. And I think it’s going to be a beloved part of our community for years to come.
